Amyloid Accelerator Polyphosphate Implicated as the Mystery Density in α-Synuclein Fibrils

P. Huettemann, P. Mahadevan, J. Lempart, E. Tse, B. Dehury, B. F. Edwards, D. R. Southworth, B. R. Sahoo, U. Jakob

This study identifies polyphosphate as the 'mystery density' in α-synuclein fibrils by showing it binds to lysine residues, affecting fibril formation and toxicity.

Mechanistic Insights into the Protective Roles of Polyphosphate Against Amyloid Cytotoxicity

J. Lempart, E. Tse, J. A. Lauer, M. I. Ivanova, A. Sutter, N. Yoo, P. Huettemann, D. Southworth, U. Jakob

This study investigates how polyphosphate (polyP) affects α-synuclein fibril formation and cytotoxicity, finding that polyP alters fibril morphology and reduces membrane interaction, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.
